sometimes there isnt labeled sponsor segments, I just usually skip increments of 30 seconds since most sponsor are either 30, 60 or 90 seconds

There are some creators who’s content ads have the same effort as the rest of the content. As a heavy ad block user this is the only way for advertisers to reach me and im okay with it.

You would be surprised how many people still watch with the normal YouTube ads, so never mind sponsorsblock. I guess the big tech companies succeeded by dumbing everything down to bite-sized technologies. So many younger people can’t even comprehend the notion of ad blockers. They are basically on the same level as boomers when it comes to tech literacy.

You beat me to it.
My wife once asked me why is it so that on our HTPC there are no ads on YouTube and even on Netflix. Now she’s hyped to use YouTube on her phone, tablet and her PC after I installed Revanced on her portables and Firefox with UBO+Sponsorblock on her PC.
I also remember frustration of our teachers in uni when they were showing some videos off youtube as an example for the class.
It may be not so obvious to us, but in reality most of internet users have no such tools installed on their systems. They raw dogging the internet.
